This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828223 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENCE-AWARE REPOSITIONING AND REFRAMING IN VIDEO CONFERENCING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for automatically adjusting the framing of a video for a conference participant.

• The system captures video of the participant.
• It detects the initial position of the participant in the video.
• It calculates an offset to determine the participant's relative distance from the center of the video frame.
• The captured video is modified based on the calculated offset.
• The modified video is then presented in the video conference.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are described herein for automatically reframing a video for a conference participant. Video of the participant is captured, and a first position of the participant is detected. An offset for the first position of the participant is then calculated to determine a relative distance from the center of the video frame. The captured video is modified based on the offset and is then presented in the video conference.
